STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 6. MORE INFORMATION
Normally, services use the same name for the APPID as it does for the
Services display name and does not use the CLSID. So, when this name change
in the services configuration database occurs, it is transparent.
